I do have it in print version, but I like to put the audio version on in the car while I'm driving just to reinforce the information in the book. The reader also brings a human touch to the book and makes you feel like you can really achieve all there is to achieve.

What other book might you compare Competitive Strategy Winning Strategies to and why?

I would compare it to Ace McCloud's Success book. In order to be successful you have to be competitive and know how to win. I think the two books make very good companions for each other.

Which scene was your favorite?

There were no scenes as this is a nonfiction book, but I enjoyed the chapter on thinking positive, affirmations, rituals and writing goals. Each of these things psychologically readies you for competition and success.

The entire book got me into an attitude of "I can do this" and made me ready for life in general. It put some excitement into my life.

Reach pek performance with competitive strategy

Competitive Strategy by Ace McCloud is a book that helps you bring out the peak performer in yourself. The book is targeted mostly toward athletes or those in business (self-starters) who have a vision and a dream. But even if you're not in business or an athlete, this book is pretty good just to get yourself in an inspirational mood.

Find Your Best Competitve Strategy So You Can Win!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would definitely recommend "Competitive Strategy" to anyone who wants to win! It could be a family member, a friend, or a co-worker, and no matter who they are I would explain to them the importance of goals. I would want them to learn what I have learned in this book about setting short term goals, so can achieve their long term goals. Hearing all of the ways to accomplish this, is by listening to Ace's words.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Competitive Strategy Winning Strategies?

For me the most memorable moment from "Competitive Strategy" when Joshua Mackey spoke about affirmations, and how you should get in the habit of saying positive things about yourself by repeating them at three times in a row. My favorite affirmations are that "I deserve to be happy, and I am worthy of love."

What does Joshua Mackey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Joshua Mackey just has a knack when it comes to narrating stories. He sounds passionate and excited when relaying Ace McCloud's messages from his books. You may really enjoy reading the book, but I don't think that the same passion would be there.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I think the book made me smile more than anything. I enjoy when we hear Ace's examples or hints on different things. I think what I liked most in this book was when Joshua described the way Ace practices "hand/eye coordination." I like the idea of using a "tennis ball, and throwing it against a wall, making sure you catch it each time."

Any additional comments?

Something that I will definitely practice is, before going to bed at night, "writing down in a journal what I accomplished that day, and what I wan to accomplish the next day." I think it is a great way to get your self motivated to set goals, and stick with them. Never give up!

Approaching competition and success holistically

Although the title of this audiobook suggests that it contains strategies for those facing specific competitions, such as games and sports, it's actually much wider than that in its approach and usefulness. 'Competitive strategy' looks at all aspects of life and how they can be honed in order to give us a competitive edge. It's really an audio for anyone wishing to be successful, whether they are competing in the market place, on a dating site, in the workplace environment, facing a circumstance of personal challenge - or indeed a sport or other competition.

Ace McCloud draws the listener into a comprehensive evaluation of their life in order to help them find areas for attention that will improve their competitive edge. It does give specific suggestions for those preparing to compete in an event, but there is much more than that here. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a concise probing of their lifestyle, attitudes and use of time, in order to discover ways to improve their performance in a highly competitive world.

The narrator reads clearly and with a positive enthusiasm, which helps to hold the listener's attention for long periods. I listened to this in just two sittings... but I wish I had made notes!

Competitive Strategy has really changed my life.

This book gives some great advice on how to succeed in life and achieve your goals. It has really changed my entire outlook on how I approach tasks and I can't wait to see what I can achieve with this new mentality. I've never been particularly confident and have always had a fairly poor attitude, however, this book showed me how to change for the better.The writing is clear and engaging and I would recommend this book to anybody. It has really changed my life.

Creating winning strategy is essential for be self-motivated, how you can avoid motivation killers like ungratefulness, jealousy, impatience, overwhelming feelings or fear. Very useful task is keep to do list that help you achieve your goals, breaking a bad habits like visualizing yourself without bad habits and after making positive changes.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

McCloud highlights that we have think positively and focused more on positive experience. Very practical is a strategy of rewording yourself, like buy yourself new outfits or massage. After buying something nice or learning something new you can feel better and that is really works. Another inspirational clue is never gave up attitude and live in a present and avoid cling to past, especially if you had a bad experience. Making a habit of using strategy ‘how can I’ instead of ‘I can’t’ is really increase your productivity and confidence.

Get that Competitive Edge

What did you like most about Competitive Strategy Winning Strategies?

Most guides which purport to give you advice on how to succeed only concentrate on one specific field, be it sport or business. What I liked most about this book is how the advice on increasing your competitive edge can be applied to a huge range of situations.

It also underlines how closely related being competitive is to being successful. So this book is a must for anyone who wants to succeed, no matter what venture they are involved in.

What did you like best about this story?

Which character – as performed by Joshua Mackey – was your favourite?

As he always does, Joshua Mackey presents the material with a vivid enthusiasm. He keeps the listener's attention easily and delivers the information with passion and accuracy.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The part that really resonated with me was when the writer encourages us to delve into our own experiences and behaviours to seek out areas that can be used to find things that will give us that all important 'edge.'

It really made me consider my own lifestyle and habits and realize why I don't always succeed as much as I should. I imagine many others would have a similar experience.

This is a really interesting and inspiring book with a positive take-home message that encourages you to be your best.

Great Competitive Strategy Tips and Advice!

Any additional comments?

Whatever we choose to pursue in life, competition is always present. It doesn’t only occur in contests but also in businesses, at work, at school, among siblings, or even against a stranger such as trying to get your hand on the last piece of bag hung at a boutique. Now, the big question is how do we win such competitions?

I bought this book because I found it catchy and interesting. I must say, I am pretty impressed! All the tips and advices are on point. It tells you about how you should set your goal, feed your motivation, make a plan, and so much more.

I would recommend this book to people like me who find it hard to win in certain situations. This book will help you become a better version of yourself.

Winning strategies - book which makes a difference

I strongly recommend this audiobook. “Competitive Strategy” is surely one of the most inspiring guides I’ve ever came across. Includes many nice thoughts and strategies on managing willpower and tasks, as well as on building skills which improve our personal competitiveness.

McCloud’s book presents many arguments for why “competition” (which nowadays tends to have some negative connotations) in fact is not a bad word. Quite contrary, it helps us rich our goals. However, in order to succeed and build up a winning attitude, one firstly needs to gain a right mindset. That is why, according to the author, pick performance during competition requires making a plan, bringing out the best of ourselves, focusing on achieving the desired level of success, and most of all coming with some long term strategies.

In my opinion it is one very comprehensive book, which covers a wide variety of topics, combining many essential tips, e.g. on health, good relationship with other people, organising adequate home environment, etc. To me it makes perfect sense. In order to win any life competition one needs to keep himself inspired and motivated. And that is how, for example, healthy body helps to keep a motivated mind and a level of energy high enough to stay focused on success.

What I’ve found particularly helpful, is a chapter devoted to analysis of an actual game winning strategies. It consists of many universal and practical advices on how to gain a competitive advantage, which I believe can be applied in everyday situations.

Full of inspiring winning strategies

I really enjoyed listening to this audio book, it is extremely inspiring and motivates you to action. It is true that life is full of competition and many of us are left behind if we do not focus and gather the determination needed in order to succeed.I particularly liked the focus that the book places on the importance of healthy living for our well being and therefore raise our self esteem and confidence which is of course an extremely important element to winning strategies.I also really liked the part about positive affirmations in which you select a number of statements related to your goal to repeat to yourself to energise yourself and make the goal feel more real and achievable.I definitely feel more powerful and determined to put these winning strategies into action.

Learn to Create the Perfect Competitive Strategy

I thought this book on competitive strategy was excellent and the ideal companion for anyone who wants to improve their ability to compete in all situations.I really enjoyed the section that looked at encouraging a positive attitude as it was very helpful as it tells you how to go about implementing ideas like rituals and affirmations.Their are so many areas covered in the book that get your ready to compete both physically and mentally. Perhaps my favourite was learning about the best way to prepare yourself for competition, this was must-listen.A brilliant book for learning how to give yourself the best chance in competition.
